Beyond Words

In this episode, Amy speaks to Trauma Informed Personal Trainer, Laura Khoudari, who opens up about what she does and why her work is important not only for others, but for herself too. She talks about how through training the body, one can increase their capacity for stress – both physically and mentally – as well as how she found herself on this path.Laura's mission is to increase access to body-based treatment for individuals living with trauma, chronic stress, and chronic pain, in order to help them feel safe in their bodies, create the conditions for healing, improve their quality of life, and begin to thrive. Her holistic programs draw from body-based trauma healing modalities, neuropsychological models, psychodynamic theory, mindfulness practices, and exercise science.

It allows one to differentiate her memory (past) and a future projection unconsciously.Because we have gathered our beliefs, thoughts, and ideas unconsciously, then change has to happen unconsciously. We never change consciously without working out what plays within.TimeLine Therapy techniques allow a person to release the effects of past negative experiences at the unconscious level. It also changes “inappropriate” beliefs in minutes rather than usual therapies that take days, months, or even years.April briefly mentions NLP, which can be looked into further here: https://nlp-uk.co.uk ------------This podcast is sponsored by Cracking the Narrative; a 6-unit program that dives into what our personal and cultural narratives are, where they came from, what our true inner self wants, and how to change our narratives to live fuller and more enriching lives. This program is a must for anyone feeling stuck, or sad, or disconnected from their true self and purpose.
